The band is one standard error, the tick the estimate.
What would actually have to be replaced. Losing the penalty taker is not the same as losing a proportional slice of Rio Cardines’output.

Possession value per 900.406

Thin sample. Only 90 minutes, so this describes a cameo. Build-up is the value of possessions a player was involved in, with their own shots and final passes removed, so it credits the work before the chance rather than the chance.

Height is shots, solid is on target, and the dashed rule is the 1.5 line.
How to read the ties. Each rate ties back to the league average: solid where the sample is settled, broken where it is still being shrunk toward the league, an open circle where there is no cohort to rank against. 90 minutes leaves every tie here broken.
